  <about><![CDATA[I was born in New York, raised in New Jersey, and have roamed a fair amount since then. I've lived in San Francisco, Connecticut, southeast Texas, Nebraska and California.

My academic work took place at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.juilliard.edu&quot;&gt;Juilliard&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.indiana.edu&quot;&gt;Indiana University&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ucla.edu&quot;&gt;UCLA&lt;/a&gt;, where I received my Ph.D. in English in 2002.

I currently teach English at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stedwards.edu&quot;&gt;St. Edward's University&lt;/a&gt;. My writing ranges from literary criticism to poetry. I'm a late beginner at the latter. My first published poems have appeared in &lt;i&gt;Two Review&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Argestes&lt;/i&gt;, and on the website &lt;i&gt;Poets' Corner&lt;/i&gt;. Many others are in the works and in the mail. I've studied in the University of New Orleans M.F.A. program, and with Catherine Bowman at the Fine Arts Work Center. I have given readings in Austin, Texas, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, New York, and elsewhere.

My current critical project is a study of Daniel Defoe's experience in the pillory and Newgate Prison following his  conviction for seditious libel in 1703 for his pamphlet of the previous year, &lt;i&gt;The Shortest-Way With the Dissenters&lt;/i&gt;. Right now it's entitled &lt;i&gt;Defoe in the Pillory: A Study in the Poetics of Punishment&lt;/i&gt;.]]></about>      <hometown>New York</hometown>  <born_at>06/14/1964</born_at>
